Not illustrated. 1859 Excerpt: ...the plain of Trov. Here also was the rieer Granieus, on whose banks Alexander the Great gained his first eietory oeer Darius, .e. 324, (map 26). 2. In Lydia flowed the rieer Hermus, famed for the gold found in the sand of its ehannel: near it was the site of Hardis, at the foot of Mt. Tmolus, the eapital of Croesus, king of Lydia.. A little way S. of the Hermus was Smyrna, on the Meies, one of the eities whieh eontended for being the birthplaee of Homer.
